Lesole’s Dance Project

Lesole’s Dance Project (also known as LDP), is a non-​profit organization that was founded by Lesole Z. Maine in ’03. They are a professional dance company that performs South African traditional dances (such as Gumboots, Indlamu, and Panstula), American modern dance, as well as AfroFusion dances. Their goal is to provide the audience with an increased awareness and exposure of the dancing arts, and are huge advocates in providing such educational experiences to economically-​challenged communities. Educational residency programs, weekly classes (including drumming!!!), EduDance (Education Through Dance), pre-​professional programs, as well as scholarships for at-​risk elementary youth are also offered; I love how they also offer culturally-​enriching after-​school programs for students at no cost (due to their generous volunteers, donors, and sponsors!). Maine is engaging, informative, and has a great stage presence — the dances were wonderful, and it was definitely a treat to have him and his company come to perform!
